Hey guys! I have a brand spanking new chapter for y'all! This baby took me forever to do! I lost inspiration a few times, but I got it again! I hope you like it. If not, tell me why! I love hearing from you guys! Happy reading!

For some reason, all the knights had gone missing. They weren't kidnapped, some of the people in the town had seen them leave on some horses from the stables. It was just the knights of the round table. They didn't even invite Merlin! Who does that?! Merlin needs to know about every single person that enters or exits the kingdom gates! It's like his job! The knights knew that too!

Anyways, the knights were all off on some adventure alone. And Merlin and Arthur were going to go find them.

...

The search had proven successful. The knights were all back in Camelot and they were being stared down by Arthur. Merlin would be glaring at them them too, but he had to go help Gaius with gathering some herbs.

"I'm back! Let's get this interrogation done with! I still need to do a butt load of chores!"

The knights looked at him confused. They didn't know this was an interrogation. Last they knew, Merlin and Arthur just wanted to know what they'd been doing.

"Gwaine, come with me! Percival, you go with Arthur. The rest of you, stay here. If you leave, stocks for three days."

"You wouldn't!"

"Want to see me do it? You'll be the first one in them, Gwaine."

"Fine."

—-With Merlin—-

"So, do you want to tell me what you and the rest of the knights were doing? Or am I going to have to be the mean one?"

"I don't want to see you mean again, soooo, the knights and I were........ looking for some rather rare herbs for Gaius! Yeah, that's what we were doing! We were looking for some herbs."

"And they took you over a week to find them? Why is that?"

"Well, you see, they were very far from Camelot and we had to go very far to find them."

"Ok. I don't believe you, but you can go see Gaius for that cut on your arm. I'll have a guard escort you so that you can't tell the others what to say."

"Yes, Merlin."

—-With Arthur—-

"Percival, would you like to tell me what you and the knights were doing? And be sure to tell the truth." He fixed a harsh gaze on the giant of a man.

"What we were doing? Well, we were on a hunting trip! Yeah! We were on a hunting trip."

"Why didn't you tell me? I could've needed you for something very special. What if Morgana attacks? What if we had been attacked? You need to tell me when you and the knights go on a trip. Deal?"

"Yes, Arthur."

And the man went to his chambers.

—-With All—-

"I need to see Leon next. Elyan, you go with Merlin."

—-With Merlin—-

"Elyan, what were you and the rest of the knights doing? I need to know."

"Well, Merlin. You see, we were just....... spending some time together. You know? We needed some time for ourselves. It's not like you never go off on your own for a couple of days."

"I don't deny that I sometimes go away for a little bit, but I always tell Arthur when I'll be gone and when I'm coming back. We were worried sick about you guys! Go to your chambers! And don't come out until I say you can."

"Fine." And the knight walked all the way to his room because a servant told him to.

—-With Arthur—-

"Leon."

"Sire."

"Care to tell me what you guys were doing?"

"The knights and I were simply in need of some time off. We decided to go to a village we had heard of. You see? We just wanted to get away for a couple of days."

"Thank you. You may go to your chambers now. Don't come out until I say you can."

"Yes, sire."

And the knight walked off to go to his chambers.

—-With all—-

"Merlin and I have discussed what you told us, and we're very disappointed in you. We expected better from you lot. We won't ask what you were really doing as long as you tell me when you all need to go if in your own. Go to your chambers and stay there for the rest if the day. No tavern. I've already informed all the owners."

"Not even just one, itty bitty, teeney weenie drink? Just one? Please?"

"No. Gwaine. Not even one drink. No matter the size."

"Fine."

Then, all the knights went to their respective rooms and stayed there for the rest if the day.
